Fillings

Did you know that untreated tooth decay (dental caries) is the most common disease worldwide? Fillings are used to treat tooth decay. Untreated cavities may not cause you much pain or discomfort at first until they become extensive holes and infect the nerve inside the tooth. If this infection reaches the nerve, you may need a root canal treatment or a tooth extraction to prevent an even more serious infection that spreads in the jaw. It is important to remove and fill tooth decay early before it becomes a larger issue.

We use white composite fillings that blend and colour match with your natural teeth using the latest materials and techniques to ensure the quality of your fillings so they feel like your real tooth. Local anaesthesia is used to ensure your comfort and pain-free experience.

Tooth decay is a common but serious issue that should be addressed as quickly as possible. We identify tooth decay at your examinations and with x-rays and provide both preventative advice and interventional treatment.

We remove decay before putting a filling in. This will stop the decay before it spreads to the nerve.

White filling materials are made from composite resin that bonds to the tooth and come in a wide range of tooth shades. They match your natural teeth colour or even be used to improve the colour of your teeth or even out discolouration. It is the most aesthetically pleasing option for fillings compared to silver amalgam.

It is the ideal material for:

  • cavity fillings on both front and back teeth
  • repairing chipped or broken teeth
  • filling gaps between teeth
  • correcting discolouration
  • protecting exposed roots from gum recession
  • changing the shape of teeth
